0440020088 Bosch Gear Pump

This pump basically moves fuel. It's a mechanical pump, meaning it's driven by the engine itself—usually off the camshaft. Inside, it has two meshing gears. As they turn, they create a vacuum that sucks fuel in, and then the gears push that fuel out to the carburetor. It's a pretty simple design, but effective. In older vehicles, especially those with carburetors, the gear pump is a key part of the fuel delivery system. It’s what gets the fuel from the tank to the carburetor so the engine can actually run. It sits inline between the fuel tank and the carburetor. It’s not used on modern fuel – injected vehicles; they use electric fuel pumps instead. If this pump fails, you’ll notice if your engine starts sputtering, losing power, or even won’t start at all. Essentially, it stops getting fuel to the engine. Think of it as a gatekeeper; if the gate is closed, nothing gets through. It’s a pretty reliable part usually, but like anything mechanical, it can wear out over time. A failing pump often means a rough idle, trouble accelerating, or just a complete engine stall. You can find replacement gear pumps pretty easily—we stock a lot of them, and Fixparts Online is a good place to check for the specific one for your vehicle. Replacing it isn’t terribly difficult if you’re comfortable doing a little DIY work, but you do need to disconnect the fuel lines, so safety is key. Smart choice: Gear Pump (MPN 0440020088) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
